k, the grub firmware takes up a specific amount of space, if you just
load the grub firmware without thinking about this, you'll likely
overwrite important parts of your nftl partition. So you need to figure
out how many sectors your firmware takes up, nftl_format just past that,
erase the now unused sectors, and then load your firmware
